Classical music fans were treated to a night of world-class talent with the Klassikal Music Foundation’s (KMF) “Songs from a Silver World: The Encore Performance” held recently at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The concert was a rerun of the successful showcase held earlier this year.

Because of heavy rains, there was foreboding that audience attendance would be nil for Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin (Op. 25, D. 795) at the Ayala Museum recently. But a good number filled up the hall and extra chairs had to be requested to accommodate the SRO crowd.
